Mission
The underlying principle of GES’s educational program is fostering rich, authentic understanding by connecting students to their learning. We expect our students will learn not only from books and teachers but from their direct experience of studying the environment and community in which they live. We seek to enhance their inherent curiosity and creativity, develop their abilities to be critical thinkers and effective problem-solvers, and spark their passion for life-long learning.
